Built in 1954

Gulls' Way was built from Knysna timber by a local builder the family called Oom Gert, on a plot bought from a farm before Keurboomstrand was really a settlement. The same family have holidayed here ever since - and the original roof is still on.

Eleven years of hosting - here's what guests say.

โ€œThe house is situated above the cliff with a beautiful garden with old fig trees and the marvellous view of the bay. We could just sit there, watch the dolphins and the waves, the sun going down and dream. The wooden furniture inside and outside is comfortable, everything is a unit. The kitchen had everything we needed. Sally and Margaret are very nice hosts.โ€

Susanne Rudorf

โ€œGull's Way is the best self-catering I have seen. The view is absolutely breathtakingly awesome. On the first day we saw nearly 100 dolphins and probably close to 15 whales from the back garden. Sally and Margaret are absolutely wonderfully hospitable and helpful. Truly a piece of heaven on earth.โ€

Birgit Taylor

โ€œWhat a wonderful stay at Gulls' Way! Absolutely top notch hosts, accommodation and that view - WOW, breathtaking and peaceful! The house was clean, tidy & very well equipped with an inverter and Nespresso machine. We were very blessed with excellent whale watching right from the stoep.โ€
